Klamath Trail Details
The north end of the Klamath Trail begins at Wilson Creek Picnic Area off Highway 101; the south end is at the Klamath Overlook on Requa Road. If starting in the north, hike south two miles to a short spur trail to Hidden Beach; check at the visitor center for low-tide times so you can explore the tidal pools. Return to the main trail and follow it along the bluffs, soaking in the ocean views. Keep an eye out for seabirds off the shore and whales from the Klamath Overlook at the trail's south end. Turn around and retrace your steps for 5.5 miles to your starting point.
